गेल्या काही दिवसांपासून आपण सतत नेटफ्लिक्स, Zee5, Amozon Prime किंवा MX Player यांच्या विषयी ऐकलं असेल किंवा तुमच्या मोबाईल मध्ये या पैकी App ही असतील.. सिम्पल फंडा है बॉस, जो भी हम थेटर मे जाके देखते है, वैसाही कंटेंट हमको इधर भी मिलता है । फक्त थोडे पैसे खर्च करायचे आणि Membarship घ्यायची.. झालं, मनोरंजनाच दुकान तुमच्या घरी नाही, तर मोबाईल मध्ये सुरू.. ते ही दर्जेदार Web Series.. जे तुम्हाला थिएटर मध्ये अनुभवायला मिळतं किंवा त्याहून जास्त मसाला, ड्रामा, ऍक्शन, रोमान्स आणि महत्वाचं म्हणजे फुल ऑन मनोरंजन..
अर्थात या सगळ्यात मराठी माणूस कसा मागे राहील.. या सगळ्यांच वारं मराठी चित्रपट सृष्टीतही शिरलं आणि दर्जेदार मराठी वेब सिरिज प्रेक्षकांच्या भेटीला आल्या..जाणून घेऊया काही मोजक्या पण तुम्ही नक्की बघायला पाहिजे अशा मराठी वेब सिरीज-

१. समांतर–

सुहास शिरवळकर यांच्या कादंबरी वर आधारित समांतर ही वेब सिरीज प्रेक्षकांच्या चांगलीच पसंत पडली आहे.. स्वप्नील जोशी आणि तेजस्वीनी पंडित यांची मुख्य भूमिका असलेली ही सिरीज म्हणजे घडून गेलेल्या भविष्यकाळाचा मागोवा आहे.. तांत्रिक बाजू ही उत्तम असल्याने ही वेब सिरीज पाहायला काहीच हरकत नाही

२. एक थी बेगम-

८० च्या दशकातील मुंबईतील गॅंगवॉर आणि ड्रग्स माफिया यांच्या भोवती सत्य घटनेवर आधारित वेब सिरीज म्हणजे एक थी बेगम..
क्राईम सस्पेन्स थ्रिलर या सदरात मोडणारी ही सिरीज मुळे मुंबई ते दुबई पर्यंत सगळ्यांचे धाबे दणाणून सोडणाऱ्या एका स्त्री ची गोष्ट आहे, जिचा नवऱ्याला नाहक मारलं जातं आणि ती सगळ्यांचा सूड घेते..

३.काळे धंदे-

हसून हसून पोट दुखायला लावणारी कॉमेडी म्हणजे Zee5 वरील काळे धंदे..ही विकी या तरूण छायाचित्रकारची गोष्ट आहे.. वेगवेगळ्या अप्रत्याशित परिस्थितीमुळे त्याचे जीवन कसे बदलते याबद्दल ही कहाणी फिरत आहे. गोष्टी व्यवस्थित लावण्याच्या बेताने तो आणखी गडबडीत अडकतो. निव्वळ करमणूक म्हणून
महेश मांजरेकर, संस्कृति बालगुडे आणि शुभंकर तावडे मुख्य भूमिका असलेला ही वेब सिरीज बघायला हरकत नाही..

४. पांडू–

कदाचित ही सिराज पाहून तरी मुंबई पोलिसांच्या परिस्थिती आपल्याला कल्पना येईल.. निदान ह्या लॉकडाऊन मध्ये तरी.. मुंबई शहरातील एका पोलिसांच्या रोजच्या जीवनात आपल्याला घेऊन जाईल. हा नर्म विनोद आहे..पोलीस हा पण एक माणूसच असतो, पोलिसांच्या मानवी बाजूचा शोध म्हणजे पांडू.. पांडु भ्रष्ट नाही, किंवा तो एक माचो नायकही नाही, त्याला शक्य तितक्या चांगल्या मार्गाने आपल्या मुलाचे संगोपन करायचे आहे.

५. ..आणि काय हवं–

प्रिया बापट आणि उमेश कामत या जोडगोळीची ‘..आणि काय हवं’ म्हणजे एक गोड गुलाबी कथा आहे जी तुम्हाला प्रेमात पाडते, पुन्हा पुन्हा प्रेम करायला लावते आणि ओठांवर हसू खुलवते.. पुण्यात राहणाऱ्या विवाहित मध्यमवर्गीय जोडप्याच्या जीवनातील प्रेमकथेचे गोड गुलाबी क्षण या सिरीज मधून आपल्याला पहायला मिळतात. नवरा बायको म्हणून असणारी भावनिक गुंतागुंत,एकमेकांना समजून घेणं हे या सगळ्या वर भाष्य करणारी ही सिरीज एकदा नक्की बघायला हवी..

तर या आहेत मराठीतील काही निवडक वेब सिरीज ज्यांना प्रेक्षकांनी भरभरून प्रेम दिलंय.. तुम्ही पण पहिल्या असालचं आणि नसेल पाहिलं तर एकदा नक्कीच बघा.. कदाचित तुम्ही पण वेब सिरीज चे फॅन होऊन जाल..

Dhurala Name Marathi Movie Trailer :

The post Dhurala (2020) – Marathi Movie appeared first on MarathiStars.

Ever since the first teaser of upcoming Marathi release ‘Dhurala‘ went out the excitement among Marathi film lovers has been on the peak! After a long long time Marathi audiences are anticipating a truly exciting Marathi film! Rightfully so as the names associated to this film from writer Kshitij Patwardhan, director Sameer Vidwans to the star studded cast of the film, all of it create expectations!

While the first teaser of the film hinted us that the film is set in a village and the politics within it. The trailer of the film goes deeper into that and now the film feels more like a story set in the internal politics of a political family! We believe the audiences might be treated with two genres in one and we might see two sides of the characters through these genres!

Sai Tamhankar, Ankush Chaudhari, Amey Wagh, Sonalee Kulkarni, Prasad Oak, Siddharth Jadhav, Alka Kubal & Umesh Kamat all these actors seem very natural in the trailer of the film and ‘Dhurala’ promises to give all of them their chance to shine! The film releases on 3rd of January 2020 and hopefully would start the new year on a great note for Marathi cinema.

Alka Kubal, Prasad Oak, Priyadarshan Jadhav, Sulekha Talwalkar, Ankush Chaudhari, Umesh Kamat, Amey Wagh, Siddharth Jadhav, Sonalee Kulkarni & Sai Tamhankar! Who could have thought that all these above mentioned actors could be working together in a Marathi film and that too a film which isn’t a romantic drama or a comedy but a hardcore stylistic political film! Well the director-writer pair of Sameer Vidwans-Kshitij Patwardhan along with the backing of Zee Studios has made this possible with their new film ‘Dhurala‘!

Currently in a completely chaotic world of politics in Maharashtra a film like ‘Dhurala’ makes more sense than ever! However it will be interesting to see what the pair of Vidwans-Patwardhan contribute to this genre. So far filmmakers in Marathi have mostly sticked to their comfort zones, i.e artists from Mumbai-Pune have hardly focused on rural backdrops in their films, similarly filmmakers coming from rural parts haven’t tried stories set in the urban backdrop much.

But with ‘Dhurala’ Vidwans-Patwardhan have focused on rural politics! From the teaser of the film one can make out that this will be a stylistic commercial political drama about the competition and the games people play in politics! It will be interesting to see how the audiences react to it when they are already much entertained by the current political scenario of our state! ‘Dhurala’ releases in theatres on 3rd of Jan, 2020!

• Review: Aani Kay Hava (Web Series)
• Director: Varun Narvekar
• Star Cast: Priya Bapat and Umesh Kamat
• Web Platform: MX Player

Quick Viewpoint: ‘Aani Kay Hava’ is solely dependent on it’s two actors (there’s almost no one else) and the chemistry between them. While it stumbles upon a little in the beginning it still gives us some heartfelt and fun moments to cherish.

What Works?

• As said above first and foremost it’s Priya and Umesh’s ease and charm that makes this series worth a watch, follow that by the fact that they are still playing characters and are not just being themselves. ‘Saket’ & ‘Jui’ are very well established characters with specific traits (that are very much relatable to today’s newly married couples) and that makes room for more seasons to come!
• The last two episodes take the series to it’s peak. While a similar easy breazy light hearted tone is ever present, the second last episode turns out extremely funny and rewatchable while the last episode brings out the heart of the series and of Jui & Saket’s relationship!
• No matter how objective one tries to be, this series being free to consume makes a lot of difference in our expectations from it! Had it been streamed on a monetized platform we might have expected some more substance rather than just the light hearted harmless fun. So yes since it’s not a film screened in a theatre, or a web series streamed on a monetized platform, ‘Aani Kay Hava’ as the name suggests makes us feel content!

What Fails? 

• The first two episodes suffer from over stretching of the available content. I mean the dialogues as the scenario stays the same everywhere. The dialogues being essential to this series as the series is basically just two people talking, that’s all!
• Overall the length of the series is around 1 hr 45 minutes, (actually even lesser if the credits from every episode are subtracted) and it is distributed into 6 different scenarios as 6 episodes. When put together the length might seem suitable for a film, but it’s not a film in any possible way. There’s no real problem here but maybe to be called a ‘web series’ the series should have been longer! At least twice this length!

Final Verdict: Director Varun Narvekar has explored the new medium effectively and we need to realize that this seems more like a trial! We surely should anticipate more quality work in Marathi through this medium.

Umesh Kamat & Spruha Joshi starrer ‘Don’t Worry Be Happy’ is a hugely popular Marathi play of recent times. It recently completed it’s 275^th Show. After that show both Umesh & Spruha revealed through Facebook Live that Spruha would no longer be a part of the play & Swanandi Tikekar (of Dil Dosti Duniyadari Fame) will be playing her part.

Spruha Joshi revealed that because of her other professional commitments she had to leave this play yet she also said that since the subject of this play is very important & the audiences too are responding well, it won’t be right to stop performing it & hence Swanandi would take the baton from her! She also believes the audiences would willingly accept Swanandi in the play.

Along with Zee Marathi’s Dil Dosti Duniyadari & Dil Dosti Dobara Swanandi Tikekar has also made her mark in Marathi theatre through her play ‘103’ alongside Sumeet Raghavan. ‘Don’t Worry be Happy’ is play that deals with modern day stress & how it affects the lives of married couples.

Tejashree Pradhan & Umesh Kamat starrer ‘Asehi Ekda Vhave’ is soon releasing in theatres. During a shoot schedule of this film, the ‘Asehi Ekda Vhave’ team was staying in Hotel Deccan Rendezvous in Pune. Tejashree Pradhan lost her laptop at that time & the whole film’s team searched the entire hotel to find it. Tejashree herself was panicked & was searching her laptop. One can understand it’s not just how expensive a gadget is, but one’s personal information too is in danger when you lose a personal gadget like laptop!

But then after everyone giving up on finding the laptop, Umesh Kamat found the laptop! And guess what? It was Umesh Kamat himself who stole it in the first place! Yes Umesh & a few members of the ‘Asehi Ekda Vhave’ team planned this heist to teach Tejashree a lesson in fun way! Umesh Kamat says, that Tejashree has a bad habit of misplacing her belongings & then panicking!

The director of the film Sushrut Bhagwat was also part of this game! We are sure Tejashree would have also taken her revenge from Umesh! Let’s hope this chemistry between the two could also be seen on the big screen when ‘Asehi Ekda Vhave’ releases.
